Rusty Comptech Springs

Hey all, I know there are old threads on this, but I wanted to start a new one to get some fresh info .

anyway, I was cleaning my wheels today and I noticed my back right spring is WAYYY rusted. I mean all of the silver coating is flakeing off. The others are all normal though. I got them from a guy on this site and he said he got one replaced by Comptech for free because of rust.

my question is how are they dealing with this? I mean can I still get one for free, or am I just screwed? Also, will the spring just break randomly and destroy my shock? Or what could happen? thanks

Such is life when it comes to modifying a vehicle. That's why I plan on keeping mine bone stock. Anyway, I just put front springs & shocks on a buddy's '90 Prelude. Both front springs rusted completely through & broke in 2 pieces. It can happen, but it takes quite a while.

Ya I just called them and they said few break because of the rust and if they do, it takes a long time...but of course they would say that. Oh well, I will just let it ride for now I guess.
